Garden City School District is among 39 schools that will split an $18 million settlement after being over charged by food suppliers. This settlement was reached with Compass Group USA, a food management service provider that improperly over charged 39 schools in the NY state area.  

Compass received discounts from food vendors it worked with but did not pass on those savings they received to the NY schools, which is required by law.  In addition to this settlement the corporation will institute a nutritional code of conduct that will result in better quality food for NY school children.

This matter touched the students, parents and taxpayers because money was over spent on food supply for the school district and now they will be getting their money back where it was over charged. The investigation leading to this settlement was conducted by the Taxpayer Protection Bureau.

The funds from the Attorney Generals settlement will be distributed to impacted school districts and educational entities across the state.
